[Docket No. FV00-927-1 FRC]

Quality Requirements for the Beurre D'Anjou Variety of Pears; 
Correction

AGENCY: Agricultural Marketing Service, USDA.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Agricultural Marketing Service published in the Federal 
Register on August 7, 2000, a final rule which established quality 
requirements for the Beurre D'Anjou (Anjou) variety of pears under the 
winter pear marketing order. This document corrects the regulatory text 
of that rule.

EFFECTIVE DATE: September 6, 2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: George J. Kelhart, Marketing Order 
Administration Branch, Fruit and Vegetable Programs, AMS, USDA, room 
2525-S, P.O. Box 96456, Washington, DC 20090-6456; telephone 202-720-
2491.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The final regulations that are the subject of this correction 
revised Sec. 927.105 and added a new Sec. 927.316.

Need for Correction

    As published, the regulatory text in paragraph (a) of Sec. 927.316 
indicates, in part, that Beurre D'Anjou pears shall have a 
certification by the Federal-State Inspection Service, issued prior to 
shipment, showing that such pears have an average pressure test of 14 
pounds. The words ``or less'' were inadvertently omitted following the 
words ``14 pounds.'' The words ``14 pounds or less'' are needed to 
recognize that pears naturally ripen and soften, over time, and could 
have an average pressure test less than 14 pounds, which would be 
acceptable in the marketplace.

Correction of Publication

    Accordingly, the publication of the final rule (Docket No. FV00-
927-1 FR), which was the subject of FR Doc. 00-19875 is corrected as 
follows:
    1. On page 48139, column two, paragraph (a), line 8 is corrected by 
inserting the words ``or less.'' after the words ``14 pounds''.

    2. The authority citation for 7 CFR part 927 continues to read as 
follows:

    Authority: 7 U.S.C. 601-674.

    Dated: August 29, 2000.
Robert C. Keeney,
Deputy Administrator, Fruit and Vegetable Programs.
